“ Please, LORD, remember how I have walked before you faithfully and wholeheartedly and have done what pleases you.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

He said to him,“ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

And out of all my sons— for the LORD has given me many sons— he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel.He said to me,‘ Your son Solomon is the one who is to build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.I will establish his kingdom forever if he perseveres in keeping my commands and my ordinances as he is doing today.’

For I have chosen him so that he will command his children and his house after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. This is how the LORD will fulfill to Abraham what he promised him.”
